hiiii! im wondering if the model has to be tangible, or can you create it virtually/digitally?

Just use your imagination and whatever you have at home and you'll be fine. 'o'

Exercise 9: Scale model

Create a simple scale model of your attraction

Exercise 9: Scale model

Activity: Create a scale model of your attraction which can fit on a small table. Try to aim for a 50:1 scale, that means 1 meter in real life is represented as 2 cm (about 1 inch) in the model. Remember your goal isn’t to make a beautiful model but to demonstrate how the elements of your attraction will be arranged in 3D space.

Tips:

Use simple materials you can find at home (cardboard, styrofoam, paper)
Start broad and layout everything first in 2D, then build things up in 3D
Add the little details after you have a rough 3D shape for your model
One way to identify scene locations is with small pieces of paper with drawings on them.
Once you finish your model you can try doing a ride preview using a small camera (such as a phone)

I would take cardboard and color it white and make them like mountains. Then, I would draw the track so the cart can go along it.
